The governorship candidate of the
All Progressives Congress, Mr.
Akinwunmi Ambode, has said
Nigeria will go bankrupt in four
years if President Goodluck
Jonathan is allowed to return for
another term.
He said since the rulling Peoples
Democratic Party had ruined the
nation’s economy, the option left
for Nigerians was to vote en masse
for the APC, pointing out that
victory for the party would ensure
freedom.
The candidate spoke on Thursday at
the campaign rally of the party in
the Alimosho Local Government
Area of the state.
He said, “Victory for the PDP in
Saturday’s election will lead to
further bankruptcy of the nation’s
economy. Vote en masse for the
APC. The victory for the party will
ensure freedom and liberate the
country.
“If we fail to vote and PDP is still in
government, Nigeria will go
bankrupt in the next four years.
This election is election of freedom
to liberate Nigerians from the
shackles of poverty and misrule.”
Ambode said the present
generation should start thinking of,
not only themselves, but also of
their children and generations to
come.
According to him, if Nigerians fail to
vote out the present
administration at the federal level,
they have ruined the future of their
children.
He said, “Parents should vote out
the PDP for the future of their
children. It is not a vote of tribal,
religious or ethnic sentiments, we
want to vote because of the
progress of Nigeria.
“If your children ask for what you
have done for the progress of
Nigeria, you should be able to tell
them how you voted out
retrogressive government and
replaced it with a progressive one;
we must vote the APC at the federal
level.”
Present at the event were the Osun
State Governor, Rauf Aregbesola,
Governor Babatunde Fashola of
Lagos State, his deputy, Adejoke
Orelope-Adefulire and members of
the Akinwunmi Ambode Kommittee
of Friends, among others.
Meanwhile, the chairman of the
Road Transport Employers
Association of Nigeria in the state,
Alhaji Musa Mohammed, led
members of the association to
declare their support for Ambode.
Also, a leader of the Alliance for
Democracy, Dr. Abimbola Ojora, and
some members of the Unity Party of
Nigeria, led by its state Chairman,
Tunde Osibajo, defected to the APC.
The RTEAN boss, Mohammed, said
the association took the decision
based on the good performance of
the APC-led government in the
state.
